7．School failure is a process in which a student slips farther and farther behind his peers（同龄人）and gradually disconnects from the educational system．The end result of school failure is leaving school before graduation．Many cases of school failure happen among students who have the ability and intelligence to succeed but are not able or willing to apply these abilities in the school setting．
People who fail in school may feel"stupid"，but emotional or mental health problems and"hidden"learning disorders，not low intelligence，often are the root causes of their inability to meet the standards of a school．The following are some factors that can lead to school failure．
Depression is one of the most common causes of school difficulties．It is a condition that makes people trapped in low spirits for long periods of time，have less energy，and lose interest in studies that normally give them pleasure．
Anxiety is a feeling of excessive worry about a possible danger or an uncomfortable situation that is intense enough to interfere with（妨碍）a person's ability to concentrate and focus．
Students also may bring their problems at home to school with them．If a student's family is experiencing violence，unemployment，or any other upsetting situation，it can be ifficult for him to concentrate on schoolwork．Many students who are having family problems might have trouble controlling their anger and frustration at school，and they may end up in trouble because of their behavior．
Learning disorders are conditions that interfere with gaining specific academic skills，such as reading or writing．Learning disorders can damage a person's ability to process or remember information．
Students at risk of school failure need to be identified as early as possible in their school careers if they are to receive the help they need．This task usually falls to the teachers and parents．Parents can help by taking a genuine interest in their children's school life and attending school events．They should take seriously sudden changes in their children's behavior，sleeping，or eating．Besides，they should help their child identify what he or she is bad at or good at．
On the other hand，there are a lot of things teachers can do to help those students who fail in school．For example，they can develop learning plans that support the students'strengths，carry out evaluations about their possible learning disabilities，support their learning by teaching them how to study，and encourage them to participate in school activities，such as sports，plays，or clubs，so that they feel they are a part of the school．

1．Water runs downhill from mountaintops to streams to rivers to oceans．But downhill running isn't the only way that water moves．A new study measures how water travels from country to country for human consumption．This flow isn't the type we usually think about．These scientists looked at the water used to grow and make the products which get shipped from nation to nation as imports or exports．They call this a flow of"virtual water"．
We typically think of water as the liquid that flows from a tap．However，nearly all---92percent---of the water used by people goes into growing crops，according to water researcher Arjen Hoekstra at the university to Twente in the Netherlands．He and his team recently studied the hidden travels of virtual water used in products made from things like crops and meats．These products are shipped around the world．
Virtue water is immense．For example，consider a sugary soft drink．Hoekstra and his team estimated that to produce one half-liter of the drink requires between 170and 310liters of water．Only a tiny amount of that-about 1percent-is the water actually used in the soda．The vast majority of the water-about 95%-is used to grow and process the ingredients（原料）．Another 4percent goes into the packaging and labeling，said the scientists．In Hoekstra's calculation，when one country produces a half-liter of soda and sells it abroad，it exports as much virtual water as would make a large refrigerator full of water．
According to Heokstra's new report，dry countries like Israel and Kuwait，both in the Middle East，get the majority of their virtual water from other countries，through imported products．More surprisingly，a few wetter countries，like the Netherlands and the United Kingdom，also get the majority of their virtual water from other places．That means that most of the water used to grow or produce the products and food consumed in those countries came from other countries．
In the United States，most of the virtual water used comes from American sources； only about 20percent of the virtual water comes from outside national boundaries．In China，even less of the water associated with its products-about 10percent-comes from foreign countries．
Tracing the water trade，Hoekstra and his team turned up other surprising relationships．For instance，often a dry region sends virtual water to a wetter region．Dry areas in northern China，for example，send virtual water to the southern part of that country，which is wetter．

Why would you want to become your own best friend？There are a number of benefits to creating your own internal（内部的） support system rather than relying on your partner，friends or family to be there for you when you're suffering．We all have it in us to give ourselves what we need，without seeking it externally（外部的）．Isn't it far better to know how to support yourself in times of need？Here's how to become your own best friend．
1．Be nice to yourself．
The first step to become a friend to yourself is to treat yourself the way you treat a friend．This means that you need to stop being self-critical（自我批评的）．Start by knowing your good qualities，talents and abilities and begin to appreciate your own unique self．
2．Imagine how you would support a friend in the same situation．
Think about a loved one，a friend，a family member，someone dear to you and imagine that they are in the same situation you are now facing．Think about how they're struggling，suffering with this problem，then consider how to best offer help and advice to them．Think about the words that you would say to your greatest friend and then say them gently to yourself．Allow yourself to feel supported，and give yourself what you need．
3．Honor your needs．
Having considered how you would help a dear friend，you need to start taking your own advice and putting your own needs first．Do you need a day off from work？A long hot bath？Whatever it is that you need，allow yourself to put it at the top of the list rather than the bottom．
Use these skills，you will become your own best friend and start being there for yourself．
